my stay in the hostel was great. there were many young people who met in the hostel's bar. the staff was very friendly and funny and the kitchen was clean. only no-go was that during 6 days no bathroom was cleaned only the floor. but thats ok for the money.

This place is super fun and the staff are kind. We stayed in the 14-dorm room and, in spite of being a bit crowded, didn't feel bothered.

When arriving in the hostel I had the impression of entering some kind of whorehouse. Maybe because of the colors, maybe because the front desk is a bar, whatever. The WiFi is free from 8 to 18, exactly the time when nobody is in the hostel. The room was absolutely small for 3 people (I was so glad the third roomate was never in the room, so there was an extra half square meter for me to move). Last but not least, the staff has the french "sympathy" stereotype stamped in their faces and words.

Had an amazing time here! All of the staff was wonderful, and the bar downstairs was very convenient. Be careful of the locals that tend to frequent the bar, however, some of them seemed sketch.

The staff was very kind but the room is not the best for winter time because the heater didnt work and it didnt have a curtain so everybody could see us when we change. Not very clean

Staff aren't that great, bathrooms are horrible, beds are not that nice, no real character to it either. Only suggest if you are desperate.

Hi! Our experience in the Peace & Love Hostel, we reached the hotel, it's been easy to find as I spoke French, but when we had no elevator and stairs Hostel were very narrow. Cleaning was not very good and the room has not been ventilated many times, few square meters room, we were not much during the day, but only sleeping. Next day they have clean the room and was well better stay. Staff very good and friendly. Manager Mark especially,but also(Receptionist) Buzan Halo,become especial Friend...

I was in a 3BR and it was dirty and very small. Shower was in the middle of the room with no privacy. Wifi shuts off at 6pm. Lights in hallway only worked half the time. No curtains over the window, so me and my roommate took one of the sheets and put it over the window so street peepers couldn\'t see us step out of the shower. i mean sure, its a hostel, but its needs some TLC On a positive, the staff was great, and the little bar across the street had CHEAP alcohol!

A three-storey shaking bed, not very clean, no heating was working in the room, a 50 50 square cm shower cabin just in front of the bed in a male-female mixed room - no way to take a shower in case you are not the oly person staying in the room.

The heater is behind the courtains, don't miss it. The night of the 3rd two men arrived drunk two their room at 4am and started to yell and make huge noises as if they were trying to break their bed. We could hear them from our room and it was damn scary, iftwas even unsafe to come downstairs to tell reception.

Nice place with bar downstairs where you can meet other guests. Usually there are meeting here for meal. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, doesn´t matter. There is a kithcen, nice one, big anf lot of staffs there. The room was fine,, but just a small bathroom with one hole in the window for more than 10 people. So you have to wait a little bit If you wanted to take a shower in the evening or morning.

The location is amazing and the staff is awesome. The common area is more like a bar after 6pm. I stayed here a week, it was my first hostel stay. For the money that you pay per night, it is not bad.
